I love watching Rose play, but his vocabulary makes Stephanie Meyers sound like Shakespeare. I want to think he’s getting better, though. Here’s a cool clip that doesn’t force me to mute the video, though I really think the NBA could’ve chosen better highlight reels (how about the between the leg assist from last week or Rose bursting past Wade and LeBron from last weekend’s match up?). Still, I’m happy that the NBA seems to be more and more behind Rose.
That said, the hype behind the Bulls is starting to freak me out. It seemed like they went to possible second rounders to multiple title contenders over the weekend… what? I don’t think I’d mind it if Rose missed out on the MVP honors this year; not because I don’t think he deserves it, but I do think that more credit is due to the team efforts and the absence of Del Negro. Also, if star status slights forced him furiously work on his game over the past summer, imagine what damage he’d do the summer after an MVP slight?
